Iphone Cannot 'Enable Location Services for Reminders App' (Reminders not showing under Location Services)

Just bought a new iphone 8, and every time I add a reminder w/ a location - Siri says "You need to enable Location Services for the Reminders App". When I go to Location Services, the Reminders app does not show.


This is prob the most popular post on the subject and did not work (not using an exchange account):

Next most popular post, (resetting privacy / location services) did not solve it:

Any ideas? Thank you all for your help,

And would you know it as soon as I posted, I found this article:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/375329/reminders-app-not-showing-in-location-services


Here's what I had to do for it Reminders to show under Location Services:


  1. Add a reminder manually (by typing it in NOT using siri)
  2. Add a location to that reminder (add a custom address not a contact)
  3. Make sure that reminder is saved
  4. NOW - go back to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services and it shows under there.


Have fun,

Tison
